Quantico follows a group of young recruits as they train at the FBI training base in Virginia.

When Alex is framed for the attack, she has to use all her skills and knowledge to outsmart those around her. Everyone at Quantico is harbouring secrets but no one expected this. She needs to get to the truth to save her life.
